Get ready for more action in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* as the game gears up to introduce two beloved classics to the roster just days after its launch. The recent update also tackled some of the issues players encountered following the game's release.
Black Ops 6 Announces New Mode, Map, and Regular Post-Launch Updates
Infection and Nuketown Roll Out This Week
"Launch was only the beginning. Tomorrow, the Infected are coming to play. Nuketown joins the party on Friday. LFG," announced *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* developer Treyarch on X (formerly Twitter), confirming the exciting addition of the fan-favorite multiplayer mode and iconic map to the game this week.
Following its launch last week, *Black Ops 6* is set to introduce the thrilling "Infected" party mode on Thursday. In this mode, players must survive against player-controlled zombies. And the excitement doesn't stop there—Nuketown, the beloved multiplayer map inspired by 1950s US nuclear test sites, will make its grand entrance on Friday, November 1. Originally debuting in *Call of Duty: Black Ops* (2010), Nuketown is a staple in the series. Activision has promised that players can look forward to more modes being added regularly post-launch. Launched on October 25, *Black Ops 6* initially came with 11 multiplayer modes, including four alternate modes without Scorestreaks and a Hardcore mode where players have less health.
